Bally’s is first Atlantic City casino to advertise odds on games

Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2000 | 9 a.m.

Although the state Casino Control Act prohibits such ads, the Division of Gaming Enforcement announced in April that the 22-year-old ban would no longer apply.

Bally's ads tout returns of 97 percent on at least 20 slot machines on its main casino floor and at Coyote Kate's Slot Parlor, a new addition to its Wild, Wild West casino. The designated areas are marked by an overhanging sign and by notes on each machine.

A DGE spokeswoman said Monday that the agency has no problem with the ads. "We will check to make sure it's not deceptive and that it is true," Katherine Lyons told The Press of Atlantic City for Tuesday's editions.
